IMPROVEMENT IN CHURNS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 37,106. dated December9, 1862.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MORGAN PAYNE, of Gardington, in the county of Morrowand State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inthe Construction of Dashers for Ohurns; and I hereby declare that thefollowing is a true and exact description of the same, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference markedthereon.

The nature of my invention consists in constructing two dashers on thesame shaft in such a manner that when the shaft is turned in onedirection both dashers serve to agitate the milk sufficiently to producethe butter, and when the motion of the shaft is reversed the upperdashers rise to the surface and perform the office of collecting thebutter in masses, so as to facilitate its removal.

In the annexed drawings, Figure 1 represents a side elevation of thedashers adjusted to the shaft A. The lower end of the shaft is furnishedwith a gudgeon, which rests on a step at the bottom of the churn. Theupper end of shaft is adapted to receive a crank for operating themachine. The lower dashers, e e, are attached to the ends of rod B,which passes through the shaft A. The dashers e e are secured to the rodat an angle of forty-live degrees. d d, the upper dashes, (shown in Fig.2,) are fastened at the same angle to the arm 0, which is sufficientlywide to admit of a mortise to receive the shaft A, which passes throughit. The dashers are all of an oblong forn1,convex at the outer edge andslightly concave at the inner edge, and are made to taper from themiddle to each end. The mortise in the arm 0 is to be of sufficient sizeto allow 0 to play freely on the shaft, so that when, from the directionthe shaft is moving, the opposing liquid strikes the under side of thedashers d 01 they are forced to the top and perform their office ofcollecting the butter.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is

The shaft A, in connection with the rod B and dashers e e, and the arm0, with the dashers dd, the whole arranged in the manner and for thepurpose herein specified.

In witness that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand in thepresence of two witnesses.

MORGAN PAYNE.
